oh sweety I wish I could cuddle up with you
love has such a way with our hearts
think of all the poetry music paintings etc that have been created out of love loss and heartbreak
it is the universal language
be strong yet gentle with both your hearts
be forgiving and strong altogether
I am blessed to have you for [...]

Hi
TRIED TO GET YOU A LITTLE  WHILE AGO BUT YOUR PHONE ACTED LIKE IT WAS DEAD. IT WENT RIGHT TO VOICEMAIL.  I WAS AT DOLLAR GENERAL THIS AM AND THEY HAD BIG BOTTLES OF BORIC ACID. GET A PLASTIC SPOON AND CARELFULLY SPRINLE SOME IN THAT CRACK ALL ALONG THE BACK OF THE COUNTER . [...]

Backstory: My family’s own version of The Grown Ass Woman’s Club is coming to visit me in Chicago.
So are you ready?  Do you have your medications all in line??  We are leaving around 8am and once we get there we will do the Michigan Avenue thing. Dont know about dinner plans for that night. You [...]

Just a quick email to say I love you all before your trip to the beach starts.
BE SAFE (tell my granddaughter she is N E V E R allowed near the ocean).
Have a great time at the beach.
Much Love,
Mom

Airports are the best places to kidnap someone.  Be watchful.  Stay together.  Buddy system.  If you are kidnapped, speak french… no one wants them!

Backstory: we’re going on a family vacation to London and Paris and Virgin sent us the wrong tickets.
I just talked to the village idiots over at Virgin and reminded them that I ain’t no punk.  Anyways, they gave me a tracking number for our package.  Girrrrrrrl, our shiznick is in Charlotte, NC and it’s not [...]

Unfortunately I don’t have your original birth certificate.  Something told me I’d given it to you, and when I found the envelope in your file it had a note that said, “Daughter took original birth certificate on 7/18/04.”  I think you needed it for something when you started work at your new job.  I have [...]

***** is excited to come see you tomorrow.
i DON’T KNOW HOW i GOT ON iTALICS AND CAPS.  tHIS SUCKS.
lOVE YOU!

We enjoyed the Dam tour. It was damn interesting.  OOOPS! That was a curse word.  The history was fascinating.  Then we went to Vegas.  What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.  Let’s see, we arrived at our non-casino hotel in the afternoon.   Daddy returned the rental car.  We walked to Applebee’s and had dinner.  It [...]

The plane ride was really OK.  Also, before the flight, I also met a Dr. who works with Samaritan’s Purse.  I had a little problem with the earphones.  Apparently I pulled them out too hard and left the earbud in my ear.  I didn’t realize it for quite some time, then discovered I had something [...]

I’ve been buying frames for the family room and am trying to fill them with travel pictures.  Could you please send me a few favorites of your European vacations as well as Katies trip to san Fran?   know I’m a pain, but I don’t have any of these.  I did, however, finally go through the [...]

Don’t forget you should be at the airport 2 hrs. before departure and it takes about an hour to get to Heathrow.  Don’t forget to have plenty of money on you for the ride etc. Also  don’t forget to plan
for unexpected whatevers. Love, YM xoxo
PS What food do you want me to get in?

Mom:  So when we come to Sydney can we stay at yours?
Mom: Hello?
Me: Oh. Sure. Well, actually there are a number of awesome hotels just a two minute walk from my house. I’ve just emailed you a bunch of links. Have a look! Am happy to book any of them for you. But, yeah, of [...]

Off to the gym tonight and I’ll probably pick up the winning lotto ticket on the way–I’ll let you know if we win.  Big trip to Italy/Greece and locations beyond if I do.  You would surely be invited!!!!!!  We’d ride in the airplane section that uses real utensils and salt shakers.

We are in Digby Nova Scotia tonight and staying at the Digby Pines. It is really nice and a very old historic hotel/lodge built in the early 1900’s. Dad and I sat in the huge lobby and had  scallops for dinner. Because Digby is the scallop capital of the world! It is very similar to [...]

Loved it!  Why aren’t you a writer or working in that field?  I am about to say something horribly insensitive….Rome wasn’t built in a day. Visit the world through photos until you can get there. Plan on a trip every couple of years like most people. Are you planning on a short life? If not, [...]

Backstory: I am going on a trip to NYC tomorrow and I asked my mom to buy some tupelo honey for my friend who I am going to visit.  AJ is my Aunt Jamie and she’s a germophobe.
AJ packs her underwear in plastic bags so the inspectors don’t get their hands on it. Like her [...]

I went to a bath house today; it was quite an experience; i saw a lot of naked korean ladies, the young and old.  It was weird.
I hope everything is going well other than missing your lovely mom:)
I miss you too,
mom

Backstory: I recently moved to México and my mother seams to think that I’m her prescription drug mule.  This is one of her emails with a very detailed shopping list.
Can you please see if you can get some Maxalt at a pharmacy?  It is prescription here in the states..used for Migraine headaches…. It is not [...]

Did you know that Dr. Macdreamy is filming a movie in London?  So I would love his autograph.  love, Mom
